Suffolk County Child Visitation Attorney

Child Visitation Attorney in Bohemia, NY

When a child is involved in a divorce, the matter is complicated and emotional. The goal of all parties should be to mitigate the effects of the divorce on the child’s life. It is important for the custody arrangement to help the child maintain the best sense of normalcy possible. Continuing with the commitment to the best interests of the child, child visitation may be an important topic after a divorce. Once other topics have been addressed, there are instances where family members need to protect their relationships with a child. Sole custody, parental alienation, and a hostile custodial parent are just some of the reasons child visitation rights are an important family law topic. The relationships of noncustodial parents, grandparents, siblings, and step-siblings could be in jeopardy. If your relationship is being hindered and your access to the child is being denied, you may have visitation rights. If you need quality legal advice from an effective lawyer, contact The Law Offices of Susan A. Kassel, P.C. for a consultation today.

Child Visitation

Child visitation and sole custody

Sole custody is very rare. When a court believes that one parent is unfit, they may award the other both residential and legal custody. When one parent cannot be trusted and could pose a danger, the court will always protect the child. Sole custody can be granted for a number of reasons, including substance abuse, incarceration, history of violence, institutionalization, and more. The non-custodial parent may still have visitation rights. It is in the best interests of the child to have both parents in his or her life. If the troubled parent can start to make a comeback and better his or her life, they may be able to schedule supervised visits. In the best scenarios, parents cooperated so well that the once unfit parent became a positive force in a child’s life, even modifying custody arrangements. If you have lost physical and legal custody, our firm is here to help you retain your visitation rights.

What is an Order for Visitation?

If you need to request the court’s help in gaining access to a child with an established, ongoing, and positive relationship, requesting an Order for Visitation may be an option. It is important to know some facts about child visitation rights. Only certain family members can request the court’s intervention. Parents, grandparents, and siblings are the only people that can ask a court to grant an Order of Visitation. Unfortunately, stepparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, no matter how great the connection, cannot request an order. If you do fit the category, it is in your best interests to contact an attorney that can help you make an informed decision on the matter. If an Order of Visitation is the right next step, our firm is here to help.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I hired Susan to represent me in a divorce matter where I was fighting for custody and to limit my wife's equitable share of our assets. I won custody of our son, kept the marital residence, kept my professional practice, kept my building and paid less than half to my wife. This was after a long-term marriage. She could persuade the court that equitable is not equal and sometimes the man does deserve to win!

I first must say that I had been represented by two prior attorneys both of whom had simply taken my money and left me nothing to show for it in my custody case. They kept telling me what they were doing for me but I found out they were lying. Susan on the other hand had gotten me temporary custody and support for my children and myself within two months of hiring her. I cannot say enough about her.

‐ Craig

After talking to a few other attorneys, I hired Susan to represent me in my divorce and custody dispute. I was reluctant to go with her because she was the cheapest out of all the other attorneys I met with, but I'm so glad I did. I am 100% positive no one else would have done such a great job with my case as Susan and her staff. Her work is quality, her staff is reliable and her character is honorable. There...

‐ Linda

I had a very difficult case where I had already burned through two attorneys who were unable to get me custody of my children and complete my divorce. Susan was able to rapidly work out an agreement and not let it just malinger on like my previous experiences. She was also considerate of my financial situation unlike all of the other lawyers I had spoken to. I highly recommend her if you want complete and caring service with an in-depth knowledge of...
